here is an idea for christmas. i made an advent calender for my mum, where you hang felt ornaments on a big tree applique. each ornament represents a member of her family eg the latest babies are little cherubs, and also each of us kids have a colour theme. it was all such fun picking characters for each family members ( angels for daughters/ daughters in law, snow man for sons and sons in law etc ) i have pictures of it here;

That's a lovely idea - oh and to be able to post pictures, you have to make a few more posts and then you'll be able to. I think it's 10 or 15 posts
